im trying to sent mail through php, in a Debian server with postfix, when i run the following script in the server, the code tells me that the email was sent successfully, This is my code:
<?php
$to = "themailtest@gmail.com";
$subject = "Hi!";
$body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";
if (mail($to, $subject, $body)) {
echo("<p>Email successfully sent!</p>");
} else {
echo("<p>Email delivery failed¦</p>");
}
?>
But, when I check the mail of the recipient, is not in the inbox the mail that was sent. What files should I change in the configuration of postfix?
I post some of my configuration file of postfix:
-

My goal is to get a full functionaly mail server, and it can send email to all address
host: strix.ciens.ucv.ve
port: 465
domain: ciens.ucv.ve
username: mail.test@ciens.ucv.ve
active ssl
Can anyone point me to what to change in the configuration?. I need to install another tool?I hope that's all. If you need something else, let me know.

Based on the log entry:
Apparently something is wrong with you tls configuration.
First of all, you should setup a "proper" certificate. How to do that for a self signed certificate, you can check here e.g.: create postfix certificate
Then you use configuration option:
If you look that up the documentation reveals the following:
Documentation for
smtp_tls_security_levelyou can look up here: http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtp_tls_security_level(I have to admit that I personally use the option
smtpd_use_tls = yeswith a self-signed-certificate without any troubles)You can find more info here about postfix and tls here: http://www.postfix.org/TLS_README.html
Additionally it seems you are working with a relay host (
relayhost = [gmail-smtp-msa.l.google.com]:587). Which means that all mail you send is routed through the relay-host. In most cases the port 587 can only be accessed with a proper tls connection. Therfore you need a working tls setup and if you need to authenticate on the google relayhost, you have to set-up additional configuration-options.Take a look here for that: http://baldric.net/upstream-authentication-with-tls-on-postfix/
Furthermore you have also to verify that postfix has access to all the necessary files. I did not use Debian for quite a time, but afaik it runs or ran in a
chrooted environment in Debian. So make sure all necessary files are reachable for postfix (in your case basically the configuration files, certificates and caches).I'll hope this points you in the right direction. Good luck. :)
